Connie ChiuAugust 9, 2015Such good churros, cacao lattes, and savory pancakes. The owners are super sweet and awesome, gave us free delicious chocolate 😁
Awesome little place in Pasadena. I love the Spanish chorizo sandwich and the churros. A must try.
Justin OrdovezaJune 13, 2020They specialize in Venezuelan food. The arepas are good. The black beans are hearty and delicious. The churros come with a thick, dark and rich chocolate drink. Only metered street parking.
- Janice JiangMay 9, 2015Delicious warm churros with your choice of dipping sauce. The hot chocolate is also really good!
Robin ChenFebruary 7, 2017I like the churros. A bit pricey but still quite enjoyable. I tried the guava and it's a bit strange at first but gets better as I eat it.
Veronica MarcanoOctober 17, 2015The atmosphere the food! Being Venezuelan gives me even more comfort, I love it here
David GarciaOctober 18, 2015Try the arena pepiada. Esquisito!! The chocolate caliente is amazing as well. Enjoy the Churros!!
A cup of iced coffee with dark chocolate here will put most coffee shops to shame. Love this place.
Get the Amarella hot with spice. It's the best coffee in old Town.
audvinSeptember 17, 2012Ask for the tequeños. They are incredible! Crispy sweet dough on the outside, soft salty cheese on the inside.
Eduardo RamirezJanuary 14, 2018they have this indulgent hot chocolate that’s both for drinking and for dipping churros in 😍
Amara is the best! Order any coffee drink with their cacao in it, and the scones are to die for!
Millie EscalanteNovember 15, 2012You must have the churros with chocolate! Also try the Raymond sipping chocolate. Perfect for chocoholics!
Doug BaerNovember 24, 2014Best churros in the U.S. -- these are not Costco, amusement park or state fair churros!
Great food and I really enjoyed the cappuccino. Great place
Best coffee in town and the croissants are spectacular!
- Got a freshly baked croissant and it was indescribably good.
